Anybody else not terribly impressed with the battery life? Last night my bar Terry was at 87% and I pH Fayed about 30 minutes of of riptide and finished at 52% Rooted Running slim bean ROM, stock kernal. Not sure if this is normal but seems like it isn't as efficient as my former iPad 2.

I played Riptide 2 with 80% brightness for 1 hour and it only drained around 15-20% if I remember yesterday and I got my tablet yesterday as well so the battery hasn't settled in yet.
No complaints about battery life here. It's outperforming any expectations I had previously.
At the beginning, my battery drained heavily after a few hours with the screen off! After a couple of days however, battery life is the greatest than on any device I have owned. Perhaps it takes a couple of days. Overnight idle, only 2% battery drain.

I'm using Carbon rom with Elemental kernel, and my battery life is awesome. Try a different kernel, and you might get better results
Stock Rom + Jassy 5 Kernel
1d 7h 45min run time (51min screen, with gaming RR3 for 9min) Gives me still 78% battery life left.
No fancy settings.
On stock Kernel, i was getting roughly 2 1/2 - 3 days battery with 4 hours of screen time and 60-90min of intense gaming.
So I think you might have a rouge app or its the rom/kernel (yes its stock to the rom but is it modified in any way?)
Just plugged my n7 in this morning to charge, was at 6%. 6d12h uptime, 7h20 screentime (90% reading in Google Play Books). Stock, rooted, wifi set to off when idle.
Gonna have to mess around with some of the settings. Just watched a one hour show and battery went from 97-76%

Might want to see how stock does first? then maybe try a rom.
I had terrible battery life too, even on standby. Turns out it was a faulty unit.
Try it stock then compare. I got awesome battery life on mine stock better that OG N7

I think the problem is that you're comparing the battery life to that of an iPad. iOS devices are going to blow most Android devices out of the water when it comes to battery life.
Having said that, my new N7 seems to have better battery life than the 2012 N7.
I have been out of the loop with recent android updates, and my most recent exchanged device has very high Mediaserver usage-56% used, 10h kept awake and my battery is currently at 54%. Neither of the previous N7s I had showed this same issue, and I have used a very minimal amount of time actually using music/pictures apps. Disabling the stock media apps (gallery, play music) did nothing to stop it.

According to Aanandtech Nexus 7 2013 mini review, N7 2013's brightness is 86% brighter than N7 2012, 43% brighter than ipad 4, 54% brighter than Ipad mini, hence why when all are set to 100% brightness the N7's battery life will be substantially worse. Be more conservative with your brightness levels( 54% N7 2013 brightness =100% N7 2012 brightness) if you want battery life that is similar to Ipad2.
I've actually been very impressed with my 32GB battery life. I had the Nexus 7 (2012) 16GB and it would go dead running AOKP if left off the charger (no actual use) for like three days. I have stock 2012 32GB and have been using it heavily (same apps) and it will definitely get me through the day even with what I would consider very heavy use. If I know I'm going to be hanging out at home playing a game with bluetooth and max screen brightness I always plug mine in though.
Overall, in my opinion, a definite improvement over the 2012 version, and I have no complaints.
Edit: I was also going to suggest getting the app "Battery Drain Analyzer". It provides some cool features the default battery drain section of settings does not. It includes a percentage drain/charge per hour, estimated battery life, some charts and stuff too so you can see what is using your power.
I'm getting 10+ hours battery life.
Compared to my iPad Mini's battery life, yes my nexus 7 battery does not impress me. I guess I shouldn't expect great battery life when I play games. Maybe it was a bug but once I was playing Dead Trigger and turned the screen off but the battery still dropped VERY quickly
L. Ive also noticed that playing some games, like SVZ Defense 2, pretty much keeps the battery level constant while charging.
But other than gaming, I find battery life adequate. It's not great, but good enough for my uses. Once I take the time to do some research I hope to find a ROM that will increase my units life.
But yeah, DO NOT compare battery life to an iPad's. You will not be happy. Oh well, at least these things are better in ever other regard!

On screen time of only 7 minutes, but 4 hours unplugged ? That basically means you haven't used the phone much at all. When I am unplugged for 4 hours, I easily have 1 hour on screen time. Lets see your battery life then ?

yeah, i'm getting on average 18 hours of battery life on just stock revolution 2.1.2.
best so far was 17 hours and i was only at 68%. and that was with about 30 minutes of phone calls and maybe an hour of screen on time.
uhh you had the screen on for 7 minutes.
Use it for a few days then come back with a normal 1 day of use.
Its not CM9 its Franco's kernel... I'm running his new 7.1 with Bugless Beast and its amazing battery life

C-Mon guys, I love my Galaxy Nexus but lets keep it real. I'm not doubting CM9 will improve the battery life but these exaggerated battery life threads are getting annoying.
I think OP and the rest of ppl responding regarding Franco's kernel is standby battery life has significantly improved. Check out the AOS thread...some ppl were losing 3-5% per hour on standby!

3-5%/hr on an Android, even in standby, is great. That means you're getting somewhere between 20 and 33 hours of standby. That's far better than any Android phone I had in the past.

wonshikee,
what are you rom/kernel are you using if any?
What about this with stock cyanogen kernel and 2hr on screen?
Kang Build 29
IMO the thing we should be concerned with getting down is battery drain while screen is on. I'm completely stock and if I hardly touch the phone (10 minutes of screen on) I can have 85% battery after 12-14 hours on 3g with Bluetooth on (no wifi and I'm on att). But if I calculate my screen on time it's about 3 hours before the phone is getting close to dying, which is pathetic. If we could use some magic kernel or something to get 6 hours of screen time, then I think that's something to be happy about. But unfortunately I don't think that's possible without a giant 3200 mah battery which Samsung probably won't ever release.

I just bought a new battery this weekend ( original 1750mah ) and i did a first time calibration ( charging for 10h without unplugging and drain it all until my phone closes by itself). Now i have a freaking awesome battery life with mid-heavy usage. 4h15 of screen time with 50% brightness, wifi on all the time, gps, auto-sync, franco kernel #11, XDA for few hours(white background), youtube, about 250 txt messages, 30 min of talk time. I just beat a new record submit your best screen on time.
**next step : 5h of screen time ( 30% brightness, no facebook app)

So, that's max screen on time with standard battery.

Using redemption rom with stock kernel. Yeah I have wifi on the whole time I'm home. Which is usually from 4- til I plug in. I am on the extended battery. But I don't notice much of a boost from the normal battery with it. I also have gtalk signed in all day and use that almost constantly. Although today I haven't. My phone also always stays cool. It never gets warm.
Also I have everything on normal sync. Gmail,fb,twitter. And auto brightness.

Seems jb batt life is pretty bad. 2%/hr idle. Alot of wake locks also from maps and networklocator. :Im assuming all from google now?
Noticed that over the last 24 hours battery life was worse than usual while I was on jellybean. Think you are probably right that Google now is the culprit, I really hope that it gets better before the ota but at the moment it just doesn't seem like it will be worth "upgrading".

I have yet to flash JB, but one thing concerns me. Is this not just a dev preview and not the final product that will be pushed out mid-July? Not to sound harsh, but I don't see why complaints are being made about battery life at this stage of JB. Just my 2 cents, fyi...

If you are getting bad battery life and wake issues, check your apps. I've heard LightFlow was causing wakelocks b/c it isn't optimzied for JB yet. I've deleted it until they can get it updated. So far, my battery life hasn't been great b/c I can't keep my hands off of it
Yeah, I would agree that battery life seems pretty good. It seems a little worse on Franco.kernel than stock, but hey, it's a new kernel and he is still trying to get all the kinks worked out. Also, no wakelocks on Light Flow, but I hope they update it soon, lots of my notifications stopped working.
Ehh I don't think its terrible at 2% an hour. Better than 10% an hour. I'll take a little drain for the beauty of JB
Sent from my JellyBelly Gnex
IMO I think it's draining a little fast, but I think that's because I keep flashing kernels and add-ons which reboots and causes the battery to drain super fast... and I've been messing with apps a lot too. So I'm gonna give it another day or two for a definitive answer.

I am under the impression that the drain is slightly higher than on ICS, I am now 5,5 hours after charging, with 88% left (and a screen time of 18mins). On ICS I would be around 90 to 93% (with the 2000mAh battery). But nothing really to worry about.
Having said that, I did have lightflow installed and it did show in the wakelock screen, so I uninstalled that to see if the next charge gives me even better endurance.
How's everyone's battery life? I get down to about 5% by the end of the night with light to moderate use and standby time seems to be pretty terrible (5% drain an hour or so).
I checked in the battery info and it shows Android OS at the top with 66% use and when I click on that, it shows Keep awake at 3 hours and 49 minutes.
Anyone else having this problem? I did a full wipe and that didn't fix anything. I'm also running the latest update.
I can usually last a day with moderate to heavy use. Haven't found it to be any shorter than that so far. Try turning on the processor eco mode
I wake up at about 7:00a.m. and go to sleep at around 12:00a.m. And I usually go to bed with about 30% and this is with moderate use, with full brightness and eco mode off.
My battery life is pretty atrocious as well compared to my Evo LTE.
I'm at 40% at the moment after 7.5 hours. That's mostly wifi and without 4G. Have tried keeping the screen at 40-50% brightness, eco mode on, quad control, on, etc.
Even tried cycling it a few times by letting it run all the way down and charging until 100% with phone off and it's there's been no improvement.

I have been surprised at the battery life of this phone. I was annoyed after I bought it because I didn't realize it didn't have a removable battery and I typically buy extra batteries. I gave it a try though and yesterday I used it moderately while at work for 12 hours, used it for streaming audio on the way home, and after a total of about 14 hours without charging it was only down to 70%. Eco mode was on, and screen set to 67%. Periods were with 3g, 4g, low signal, and wifi.
Dont know why you would have such bad battery life, i used my phone all day yesterday from 530am til i went to bed last night at 1115pm only 30% discharge at that point , i dl a rom on it for my gs3 when i was going to sleep 789mb and woke up this am to 36% bat left. I am truly pleased with the performance so far.
I am not a light user either and use it to play need for speed , I haven't even put it in eco mode yet.

Honestly no complaints so far. I've been toying with it for fifteen minutes after ten minutes of music play and it only now went from a hundred percent to ninety nine. On my 3d it would be down ten to fifteen percent by now.

At the time this was done it was at about 40ish%.
At the moment I am at 25% after using my phone about 16 hours. Android OS is at 51%, screen at 19% with about 3 hours clocked in.
By this point I expect a minimum of twelve hours on the battery with at least two hours of screen on time. Im very happy with that if I use the screen for more than two hours it'll last about eight hours which is still good. This phone idles very well I expect it improve with future updates as well.
To the user who s getting a lot of fc's, I definitely don't get any and that's saying a lot for stock software from lg opposed to stock android. Don't install task killers of you have one

2 hours in and I'm at 75%. Yeah I might have a bad device. .

Replacements here, we'll see how things go with the new one.
I'm getting such bad battery drain when the screen is on its ridiculous. I've taken some screenshots from Gsam and as you can see at times I'm losing 5% battery over ten minutes of screen on time. I'm not gaming or doing anything cpu intensive and the screen brightness is set to 25%.. What sort of battery drain are others experiencing when the screen is on?

That comes to around 3 hours screen on time. Sounds about right lol

I've come to accept the battery is mediocre to today's flagships

Yeah the battery life isn't the best but it's not unbearable, I'm going to get a mophie case when they finally go on sale.

I am pretty disappointed. I had a Z2 then Z3. IMO you haven't experienced great battery life until you've used one of these phones. It's really unbelievable. I couldn't kill it in a day, period. It's really hard going backwards. I don't care how fast a battery charges or whether it's removable, there is simply no substitute for a phone you take off charge in the morning and run all day with zero thought to the battery until you plug it in at night. For me with the G4 battery is crazy bad with screen on and almost as appalling screen off. With the Z2 and 3 if I didn't use my phone much say during the morning at work it would have 90% left at lunch time. Or even streaming Pandora all day barely touched it. Same for this phone I'm already down to 70% without using it by lunch. In this reply I've lost 6% so far. I think all the comments talking about turning off WiFi, and lower brightness etc are all BS. To me, that's not using the phone. It's not making my day and my business easier if I'm constantly worried about battery life.
I've found that the avg screen time no matter what is 3-4 hours. I get 19hrs on my battery on avg and always get between 3-4 hrs of screen on time. Having that spare battery is a major help.
I miss my turbo for it had minimum 5hrs sot and over. Still getting used to this battery life on my g4
Mine has gotten better after a few cycles. The screen off drain is extremely low, which makes up for screen on drain in my case.
On my Z3v, I was amazed at screen on time - but the battery would just drain at 10%/hour pretty commonly - so even though i could get 5hrs of screen on - it would still only last for a day. With the G4, I use it all day when I need to, and then after two days I need to charge it. Not to mention I got 5hrs SOT yesterday.
I wonder if anyone will develop a 4k Mah battery that fits in roughly the same size back? I've seen 6k already... but I dont need that much. Just a bump more will help.

What do you count as a cycle? Mine is still crap after owning the phone for weeks.

Recharge cycles, letting it get low enough that It needs to shut down and then charging it back up with the stock charger.
Others have reported similar, and others have also mentioned doing a factory reset if you haven't tried that.
Overall I agree with the barely average life. Especially with this phone - I'd rather they make it .5mm thicker and put a bigger batter to allow for real all day phone use of calls, email, etc.
